Economic Transformation and Innovation - Master

This programme combines economics, management, and public policy to address the challenges of economic transformation. You will build a solid academic foundation, gain practical experience, and benefit from international perspectives. The curriculum explores how industries and regions adapt to sustainable solutions, with the Stavanger region serving as an especially relevant case study. The region’s unique challenges and key role in Norway’s economic transition make it a valuable context for analysis. You will study topics such as innovation, sustainability, regional development, and applied social science methods. In the third semester, you can customise your learning through internships, international exchange, or specialised study tracks. The programme concludes with a master’s thesis or a capstone project, enabling you to apply your skills to real-world economic and societal challenges. You’ll learn from leading scholars and engage in real-world projects that prepare you for careers in business, government, consulting, or policy research organisations.
